OK, so I'm new to block, and my first guess at the right git tree
and branch:

    git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block block-6.0

 doesn't seem to contain this one:

    e88811bc43b9 ("block: use on-stack page vec for <= UIO_FASTIOV")

Can you point me to the right tree please?

Once I know the right block tree to use, I could post the next version
rebased on top of that. And plan to send it up through Jens' block tree,
assuming that it continues to survive the reviews, that is.

Andrew, is that OK with you? The first two patches will still get
reviewed by mm, and they shouldn't conflict with mm, even if they
go up through the block tree.


thanks,
